1. “LET THE CHURCH GO DEEPER”

4. “Controlled By The Holy Spirit”

5. 18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. 19 Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, 20 always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Eph 5:18-20 NIV)

6. “Hears and Applies the Word”

7. 22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25 But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it--he will be blessed in what he does. (Jam 1:22-25 NIV)

8. “Relationships”

9. 10 This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love his brother. (1Jo 3:10 NIV)

10. “Impacts Positively With His Mouth”

11. “ We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to keep his whole body in check… 7 All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man, 8 but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. 9 With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. 10 Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. 11 Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? 12 My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water. (Jam 3:2-12 NIV)

12. “Spiritual Disciplines”

13. 1 Timothy 4:7 "Take the time and the trouble to keep yourself spiritually fit." (Phillips)

14. …to eat—The Bible …to breathe—Prayer …good spiritual hygiene —Confession of sin …a caring family—Fellowship …regular exercise—Service …we need protection—Temptation …we need to give—Stewardship In order to grow we need…

15. “Trials”

16. 2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4 Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. (Jam 1:2-4 NIV)
